I would consider myself a thrower both by nature and temperament, too impatient to
slip cast and too demanding of a 'perfect' surfaces to hand build.

The spontaneity of throwing instantly attracted me; its challenge - to control that
spinning clay rather than be controlled - kept me coming back. I would have to say
I was not a natural, it was a struggle for me to learn (12 years later and I'm still
learning) but pure stubbernness kept me going.
